In Their Own Words
“When it comes to global health, Bill and I are optimists — but we're impatient optimists. The world is getting better, but it's not getting better for everyone, and it's not getting better fast enough....”

— Melinda Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, speaking on the U.S. response to global health issues. (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Press Release 10/27/09)
